Notes - So I finally worked out how to record Mega Drive videos, but this recording has a lot of lag. This is a fun game that I used to play when I was little. I have strong memories of the map screen and enjoying how much choice I had with the order in which I played the levels. The jump detection is a little tricky to work with because often a second jump will not register when performed too quickly after the first jump. I remember little about the actual gameplay, but I still had a lot of fun working through the levels and solving how to beat certain areas and bosses. If I had to nit-pick then I’d say that the music is a little bland (though there are still some good tunes), that the green plunger is a waste of time, that not nearly enough levels make use of the chilli peppers, and that there’s too much backtracking (when collecting an item at the end of a level and having to go through it backwards to leave.) This game has been on my list for a while now and I really enjoyed it. I praise the level design and gameplay. And don’t forget, I have a fondness for games I loved when I was little. Final score was 375500.
State when Playing - Quite tired.
